Cape Gooseberries

Ive got one,no idea where i got it from last yr,its still in a pot as i dont know where to plant it yet its not got very tall

 

Look a bit different to the ones I usually grow @joolz68

 

Are they cape goosberries or have i got it wrong @pete x

 

Just wondering if you might have another type of Physalis there, possibly the hardy ornamental, Chinese lantern.

 

I think your right @pete ...they are not the same plant then?
Did i get it from you??

 

Not guilty I'm afraid.
The cape gooseberries I've always grown are quite hairy, dont have the purple stem and get up to 3ft or more tall outside.
I could send you a small plant if you want, but doubt you would get fruit at this late stage.

 

Thanks pete but ive no idea where to plant this ney mind another and thanks for the I.D. im a plonker!

 

Thank you. Pleased I asked. No idea where to keep them during the winter months. Will think of something.

 

Somewhere not too warm, the house could be a bit too warm.

 

Garage no windows or garden are my options. My plastic grow homes weren't going to stay out over winter.

Errrrrrm. May have to rethink.

Thank you.
